This option specifies the computation method used to find the regression line. In the Properties pane, in the Solution method dropdown list, select Ordinary Least Squares. Expand Initialize Model, expand Regression, and then drag the Linear Regression Model component to your pipeline. You can find this component in the Machine Learning category. Gradient descent is a better loss function for models that are more complex, or that have too little training data given the number of variables.Ĭreate a regression model using ordinary least squaresĪdd the Linear Regression Model component to your pipeline in the designer. This should give similar results to Excel.Ĭreate a regression model using online gradient descent This component supports two methods for fitting a regression model, with different options:įit a regression model using ordinary least squaresįor small datasets, it is best to select ordinary least squares. This method assumes a strong linear relationship between the inputs and the dependent variable. Ordinary least squares refers to the loss function, which computes error as the sum of the square of distance from the actual value to the predicted line, and fits the model by minimizing the squared error. For example, least squares is the method that is used in the Analysis Toolpak for Microsoft Excel. Ordinary least squares is one of the most commonly used techniques in linear regression. This option also supports use of an integrated parameter sweep. If you choose this option for Solution method, you can set a variety of parameters to control the step size, learning rate, and so forth. There are many variations on gradient descent and its optimization for various learning problems has been extensively studied. Gradient descent is a method that minimizes the amount of error at each step of the model training process. This component supports two methods to measure error and fit the regression line: ordinary least squares method, and gradient descent. To predict multiple variables, create a separate learner for each output that you wish to predict.įor years statisticians have been developing increasingly advanced methods for regression. This type of regression is not supported in Azure Machine Learning. (This is different from the task of predicting multiple levels within a single class variable.)
For example, in multi-label logistic regression, a sample can be assigned to multiple different labels. Multi-label regression is the task of predicting multiple dependent variables within a single model. The Linear Regression component can solve these problems, as can most of the other regression components. Problems in which multiple inputs are used to predict a single numeric outcome are also called multivariate linear regression. Multiple linear regression involves two or more independent variables that contribute to a single dependent variable. This component supports simple regression. The classic regression problem involves a single independent variable and a dependent variable. However, the term "regression" can be interpreted loosely, and some types of regression provided in other tools are not supported. Linear regression also tends to work well on high-dimensional, sparse data sets lacking complexity.Īzure Machine Learning supports a variety of regression models, in addition to linear regression. Linear regression is still a good choice when you want a simple model for a basic predictive task. Simply put, regression refers to prediction of a numeric target. Linear regression is a common statistical method, which has been adopted in machine learning and enhanced with many new methods for fitting the line and measuring error. The trained model can then be used to make predictions. You use this component to define a linear regression method, and then train a model using a labeled dataset. Linear regression attempts to establish a linear relationship between one or more independent variables and a numeric outcome, or dependent variable. Use this component to create a linear regression model for use in a pipeline. This article describes a component in Azure Machine Learning designer.
